We all know this balloon came from a Chinese wet market. It occurs naturally in nature. The Chinese government had nothing to do with it being launched. It was let go by a child accidently while celebrating his birthday.

U believe it's here by accident?[/quote]
Yes. At least, it’s where it is by accident, or it is here just as a provocation. The Chinese would have nothing to gain by going to war with us. Their whole economy depends on us buying all their garbage.

I believe there's a lot more going on internationally than you understand. A lot of war can be fought nowadays without bullets and bombs and are as we speak.

What I thought

Them boys got their muskets dialed in for 60,000 feet? Its a giant balloon, very likely drifting within the jet stream without the ability to be steered.

They probably shot one of those things that came out of it.

Just another distraction from what the Biden and company has going on now.Remember , the Chinese people were revolting again , and the Chinese government was killing them in the streets , and MSM covered it all up again.Biden is stopping the COVID 19 relief status in May..The Biden administration is investigating everyone for classified documents now.Pence is being investigated , everyone but the main creatures  in the swamp..Why isn't Obama , Hillary, Bill and both Bushes being investigated? Seems like the same with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. , investigation just disappeared .You can bet that the boy queen has his share in this also,


We have met the enemy and the enemy is us!

News from over seas says that our military saw it and was tracking it before it got here and that it has been here for a few days. Also that it was spending a lot of time in the area of our nuclear silos in the area. The same story said they are building a tracking station in Antartica .

Guessing here... in 2 weeks, this "news" will be gone.


swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

You have to remember that 1 out of 3 Democratic Voters is just as dumb as the other two.

Very good question!


I don’t think there is an altitude ceiling on national air space. There was a “space treaty” in the late 60s and that made near and outer space free air. I don’t think the treaty specifies an altitude where that begins.


Eh...wot?

I doubt Canadian air space is too overloaded, so with any luck you guys will get some to enjoy as well.
